Of Salem Dies In
Baltimore
Present and former Salem stud
ents will learn with deep sorrow
of the death of Mrs. C. L. Sum
mers, nee Bessie Hall, a devoted
alumna who died in Baltimore, Md.,
September 26. During her residence
in Baltimore she was the central
fio-ure and inspiration of the Salem
alumnae of that eit}^
Mrs. Summers 'was influential in
establishing at the University of
Maryland a clinic for the relief of
babies and children, and as presi
dent of the Woman’s Auxiliary of
this institution had brought much
of medical science into the service
of the clinic, and now, as many as
eight thousand children are treated
yearly by the clinic, due to her un
tiring interest and leadership.

1825 and standing to the east of
Salem. Also a “Study of Gables”
is worthy of note being a group of
the houses from the older part of
Salem. His most interesting pic
ture, however, is the one showing
South Hall, West Gate Archway,
the Sister’s House and adjoining
buildings as seen 'from the east.
This painting is interesting both for
its association with Salem College
and for its contrasting colors and
.architecture.
A collection of Mr. Mattison’s

Athletic Announcements
For the first time in the history
of Salem College the work in Phys
ical F,ducation is being carried on
by the director. Miss Atkinson, with
the aid of two student assistants,
Dorothy Frazier, senior, and I-ill-
yan Newell, junior. Both students
are capable of filling the place, and
will be well prepared to take the
responsibility. The Physical Edu
cation department feels that it is
fortunate in having two such per
sons for the first trial of this expe
riment.
At present four sports are being
carried on. They are, basketball,
which is a major sport, tennis,
swimming, and hiking. Basketball
practice began on Tuesday of this
week, and Miss Atkinson states that
she is well pleased with the spirit
of enthusiasm that is being shown
for this sport. She is also pleased
vith the types of playing material
;hat have answered the first call,
and feels certain that everything
points towards a good season this
vear. There are vacancies to be
illed, however, and the girls are
urged to fill these while the prac-
ices are still in the elementary
itages. Day students are remind-
id that they arc eligible for teams,
ind are urged to come out. Miss
Vtkinson, who will be the head
:;oach, has been for the past four
V'ears at the University of North
Carolina, where she was very suc
cessful in her work with the co-eds.
Practices are held every Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
for freshmen at 3:30, and for the
u’pper-classmen at -1:30. Surely ev
eryone can find it convenien.t to
come out to at least two of these.
Miss Atkinson wishes to remind
the students that the tennis courts
have been worked over, and are)
now in good playing condition. It
is just the kind of weather to play
tennis, so everybody play w'llile the
weather is suitable.
If the fall weather continues, the
swimming season will soon be closed
with a swimming meet, but this,
however, is entirely dependent on
the weather. The pool is open at
regular hours at present, and ev
eryone is invited to come out and
get in good shape for the meet.

seeing the King and Queen of Italy
hen he attended opera. The king,
he described as a very ordinary
looking man, and the queen as a
motherly looking woman. After
seeing the pope, the king, and the
queen, he wanted to see Mussolini.
One morning on the street some one
whispered to him that Mussolini was
passing. Instantly the street was
1 with military men ivhile a
closed carriage dashed by at a high
of speed. In one corner of
carriage, the figure of a man
could be seen. This manner of
passing thhrough the street, Dean
Shirley said, led him to believe that
Mussolini is not quite so brave a
in as he boasts.
The students and visitors who
heard Dean Shirley’s talk enjoyed
it thoroughly, and appreciated it as
of the most interesting chapel
features.

members of our own college group;
other words, all contacts which
lie about in our every-day living.
‘The other main field of student
lionor deals with life in the class-
1. Quite naturally a girl
brings into the college class-room
the attitude which she had in high
sclioc.l. Unfortunately some of our
higli schools lhave not sufficiently
emphasized the importance of indi
vidual responsibility in regard to
work; consequently some students
get the idea that anything they can
put over is permissible. In other
words, they sliift the responsibility
of tlieir class-room conduct and of
the preparation of their w'ork in
general, to otlier shoulders. These
students feel that it is up to the
teachers to catch them if they are
copying somebody else’s algebra pa
per or theme; otherwise, they should
get by with it, as they would ex
press it. Their slogan is ‘It’s not
what you do that gets you in trouble,
!iut what you get caught in.’
“You new girls have already been
at Salem long enough to realize that
this sort of attitude is utterly oi
place here. You have been told of
the regulations necessary for dormi
tory life. Now, I want to explain
briefly what we mean by class-room
“In the first place, remember that
you are given credit for doing your
own work. A quiz paper, or an
exam paper represents what you
yourself liave done. When you
hand in a paper, the instructor in
charge assumes that it is your pa
per. Unfortunately, every year
there are girls who do not appreci
ate this confidence. When you
sign your name to a paper, feel
that it is the same as if you were
signing a cheek. Your name stands
for something—If you sign it to a
paper which is not rightfully yours,
you are dishonoring your name.
Your name on a paper,—a quiz, a
paper prepared out of class, an ex
am, means that you are handing in
your work, and only yours. Any girl
who fails to live up to this standard
commits one of the greatest offenses
possible, and she cannot be allowed
to stay at Salem College.
“Remember, too, that class-room
honor is also group honor. One of
the most difficult phases of student
government is the attitude of the in
nocent girl towards a girl who she
knows is doing wrong. It is so easy
to say, ‘Well I’m not cheating. If
that other girl wants to cheat, let
her try it.’ But after all, that is
cowardly. Student government
does not mean tattling. It means
that a girl, if she sees another girl
cheating on a quiz or exam, should
ask that girl to report herself. After
all, isn’t it more charitable to the
girl tlian letting her go on, forming
dishonest habits which will grow
“And remember, the faculty are
not policemen. We are here to
teach you and to help you, but we
are not here to brow-beat you, men
tally or otherwise. We do not have
faculty government here at Salem,
we have student Government. Now,
it is up to you, the student body, to
make it a success.”
starts a train of reflection. Since
these ghosts—we will call them
that for want of a better nai
can accomplish so many useful
things, why not import a few to keep
the temperature constant and mod
erate in every house or building. Not
being visible, these ghosts could
be at all in the way, and probably
w'ould not take up much space. How
wonderful such an importatic
would have been during the fir
weeks of school when the mercury
behaved so outrageously that
finally ignored it completely,
would also like to import a ghost
who has studied typewriting into
our editorial office. It would be
an invaluable addition to the staff,
especially if it could bring its own
typewriter.
We were industriously employed
in the library the other day, when a
student entered and asked in loud
tones where the library might be
found. The book-lined walls and
the heavy silence shrieked at her,
but she was unabashed. Perhaps
she may be excused on the score
that she is used to nothing less than
the Congressional Library at Wash
ington, but in any event, her zeal
for knowledge and learning has not
up to this time been over-powering
takes her two weeks to locate
the college library.
ODDS AND ENDS
Dean Shirley’s account of his al
most seeing Mussolini reminds us of
the time when we heard the noise
of Lindbergh’s plane, though the
plane itself,—including Colonel
Lindbergh, was obscured by the
clouds.. We were in an exalted
state of mind for the rest of the
day, because of our close contact
with the great man.
Speaking of Mussolini, a news
paper of recent date remarks that
there is at least one individual in
Italy who will not take him very
seriously for some time to come,
namely, the young Romano Musso-
The stork is kept busy these days
flying back and forth from one il
lustrious European family to an
other. We hope that his patronage
in the higher circles won’t turn his
head, so that he will henceforth
refuse to give his service to the bour
geoisie, not to speak of still lower
social strata.
We read with extreme interest,
that spiritualist experts in Paris are
putting their pet spirits through a
new set of antics. They declare
that, through the agency of trained
mediums, the ghosts can change the
temperature of any room, can op
erate typewriters from a distance
and can “walk” at any time dur
ing the day or night. This theory
